August 15, 2025
European Accessibility Act

Since June 28, 2025, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) is fully in force across the European Union. This directive now requires that websites and online stores be accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities.

A legal obligation that affects all e‑commerce actors and beyond.

⚠️ Penalties for Non-Compliance

Failing to comply with the EAA exposes businesses to serious consequences:

  • Financial penalties:
    • France: up to €15,000
    • Germany: up to €100,000
    • Italy: up to €40,000
    • Spain: up to €1,000,000
    • Ireland: up to €60,000 + possible prison sentences
  • Legal and commercial risks:
    • Product or service withdrawal
    • Sales bans within the EU
    • Legal action by consumers or advocacy groups
    • Damage to brand reputation

🛒 Which Sites Are Affected?

The EAA applies to a wide range of digital services, including:

  • E-commerce websites and online shops
  • Mobile apps and websites providing services (banking, transport, telecom, media…)
  • Non-EU providers targeting the European market
  • Only microbusinesses (fewer than 10 employees / revenue < €2M) are temporarily exempt

In short, any commercial or interactive website is affected.
